[000:00:00;00] i be. clashes break out between protesters and police in the city of seattle during rival pro free speech. comes a day after violence at a white nationalist rally in virginia. children are being reunited with their relatives up to campaign to bring home russian speaking orphans of islamic state father was in iraq. and syrian forces in a special joint operation with russian troops have retaken three villages from

islamic state. all germany's foreign minister accuses. the us president by committing to increase the country's military spending. getting to. international. tensions between rival free speech an anti hate rallies have boiled over in the u.s. city of seattle after police moved in with pepper spray. to disperse the protesters

. the conservative rally was organized by a pro trump group called patriot builders a supporter of free speech was confronted by counter protest this shouting insults before the riot police. group of demonstrators attempted to force their way through the barricades some of them through fireworks stones three people have been arrested. well the seattle scuffles came just one day after a street brawls at a white nationalist rally in virginia turned deadly and i rammed a crowd of counter protesters and the latest development a twitter campaign is now underway to try and find out who took part in the unite the right rally own personal ready losing his job for attending this american has more on the division in us society recent clashes in seattle and the tragic events

that took place in virginia have really exposed the extent of the division in us society and not even the president and his team can deny this let's take a look we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence it has no place in america where terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was terrorism it all began way back during the u.s. presidential campaign with pro and anti trump rallies springing up all across the country but both sides had been throwing accusations and insults at each other even before election day as you might expect given a campaign was in full swing. i would say we're more open minded we're kind of more moderate well educated people a lot of educated people that are sensible. they were kind of arrogant weren't they i'm not to judge what other people's education and stuff is it's not

surprising that the country is divided in half but following the bombshell result of the election half of the country was left in discontent so much so for that so much so that for some they went beyond rhetoric to vent their frustration as we saw with the violence in berkeley which became one of the main battlegrounds. you. know. god was. extreme left wing activists gone even as far as attempting to assassinate a republican lawmaker now both the newly formed far right and the far left are feeling sufficiently and bold and to come out onto the streets and wreak havoc all across america the violence in virginia over the weekend should have been a sign to stop but even more took place in seattle so it seems that seething

tensions and violent clashes which resulted in dozens injured and even one death are becoming the new way that americans result their political and social disputes . the dean of durham university's law school told us that both the right on the left are becoming more extreme. the political dimension is you have very much a clear right in the left splits in american politics right and left split that seems to be without much of a center ground as you know with the a lot of space in the middle of the right has become more rights and and some would say the left has become more left of the country's become more polarized and people are not seen in total trump his promise to bring people together but it seems that people have never been further apart under under his rule. it's about. a divided.

democrat. one of the reasons i want to be very. auntie's continuing its campaign to find relatives of russian speaking children stranded at an iraqi orphanage and bring them home is the call that we're all seeking to be heard globally when most identified so far all sisters five year old heidi john three year old the youngest is reportedly were taken to iraq by their parents who joined islamic state bills relatives in russia they recognize them if you know that we filmed in baghdad just a few days ago now the grandparents want the children home as soon as possible.

that it is remarkable how coincidence can change entire lives a seven year old neighbor recognizes her poor mother playmate. on instagram she shows in the video that we filmed to her grandparents who had it all but good. and to his sister as last call it great call it divided into mention that it changed all of the bad lives or get in there under the hood or in a thicker the car than it were. for you and then sort of a school for. the elderly grandparents cried bailout it was a whirlwind of emotions and they found a new purpose in life to bring the girls back into a family but deja was only three when they last met and tried to mount me

a months old would she remember two years on. except that. i tell my good just. he. writes. the facts. i'm guessing. that you. didn't. just. need. to stoop. they were

something precious unforgettable it is one of the real unities to witness in its purest form we just want to big grandparents to know that despite the young age and the terror of most though she remembered them more i guys do you see from dagestan russia. and if you have any information about the children you can get in touch with us using the e-mail address you can see now on your screen us children at r.t. t.v. dot are you. syrian government forces have conducted a special joint operation targeting islamic state air lifting troops behind enemy lines three villages into all reservoirs were read taken without incurring losses

and military advisors helped plan the mission. of this operation was conducted one hundred kilometers from there is the second largest stronghold after iraq another key town which is also closed today or is or was recently liberated by the syrian army these are the latest pictures from inside and as filmed by a lot that fell into the hands of journalists in may two thousand and fifteen during the same battle in which i still captured palmira for the first time the last major town on the road to dairies or now the way to liberating the i still held city would seem to be open early we asked writer and called traitor abdel bari

atwan about the significance of these latest events. ok let's speak to. that is a syrian writer and bring him on to the line now to talk more about this could even see abdo let's talk a bit of hope in the first of all why is this such an important place. with the evening to actually has over the you know was not. the intersection of. homs and eastern homes and most importantly there are sort. of contain big warehouses off weaponry and it was used as a back up. for military elements especially weapons and. in human. fighters so taking away from

from this formula will leave. dismantled and will make the battle against. easier in the next stages just after. many many. pockets in eastern homs sorry and or are in the process of surrendering as we talk now as we are talking now. another another importance. it's very rich in gas. and it's a mix for the. states that are greedy against syria and it breaks. more do more but end the. fight. and defeat gets to keep the land so the syrian army and the russians are

breaking this song called all or more than awful but ending and going. full force to take. everything and of syria back and i believe there is war is the next to come how soon do you think we will see an assault on. the routes are open no idea towards the resort. but take into consideration that now i saw in a clam position were always one side of the. syrian army and russian air force and allies. with which are all of just from the other side of the clamps you have always you have you have the. kurdish american operators you have the cia operate the.

armed groups that. the founded by president some ten days ago. and the only legit. other side of the. iraqi army in this battle so it depends you know in fact about those where you have different fronts of one battle a defense of the. game that will be played between i believe in the stand between. the russians and the americans so one this happens nobody knows but i know that there is a decision to take the resort whether that is an understanding about it or let it be an open battle and inside there is or there are some syrian army forces they've been holed up there for. something close to three years now how have

they managed to defy the terrorists how they survived for so long. this is my idea the culture of righteousness and the culture of presence of the syrian army. and have it in there as well and the people of the resort. at around me still hanging on to them because they have witnessed the atrocities of ice or other terror groups against and cleansing that were practiced against them all over syria so when you have. this culture of righteousness and. resistance you can keep on going for many years plus they trust that they trust the syrian state and they trust the russian i lie and the iranian ally that they

were there would not let them behind and this has created the stuff that as a stance and the. decision. to stay they got saved and i'm told this is broken and i believe the day of breaking with egypt so close now over to speak. and writer my guest. we are now germany's foreign minister has accused angler machall of kowtow ing to the american president with her commitment to increase military spending the chancellor is positioned to practically voluntarily bend over and promise to double the german military budget after the bundestag election is nothing less than the signing to trump that they will give in to his pressure the forthcoming federal elections in september will be a vote on whether germany remains

a peaceful power or joins trumps weapons madness. the statement comes days after the social democrats germany second biggest party which occupies roughly one third the parliament rejected nato's target of spending two percent of g.d.p. on defense is what the parties bundestag leaders said about the proposed spending boost. we think this is the wrong way and with the s.p.d. in the government there will be no such thing defense expenditures will increase not to me a relevant quotes has been soon sure comprehensive security but no crown the chairman of the birdland branch of the pirate party thinks the germans themselves want to see the money go and other things that people are definitely not tempi about that because if you look into germany most people are totally against it and there is like some server use their chole don't like to do so and basically answer at the moment there is

a strong trend against the united states and the policies of the united states of donald trump and this even makes it stronger the boys against raising that budget basically raising the military found means to lower the funds for social payments in our union and this is what we basically need at the moment as their soul so little of work and so big unemployment rate we need more social care in european union and this money is just not existing. russia says it will do all it can to bring peace and stability to libya which has been engulfed by civil war for years that announcement came as the chief of the libyan national army which is opposed to libya's internationally recognized government visited russia's foreign minister in moscow. more than a role in these brokers does not pay much finding a recipe but enabling the creation of the best conditions for dialogue between key

libyan figures to allow them to negotiate the future of their own country. the result of our negotiations is very good russia is now thinking about what part it could play in bringing peace to libya we will be happy if russia continues to play a part of this process. in libya is currently mainly governed by two competing or thora to use the un backed government of national accord has its headquarters in libya's capital tripoli and controls the western part of the country and the broken government series representatives in moscow at the moment controls the east of libya the political unity of the country was broken in two thousand and eleven following anti-government protests. that. i.

was. a. little. we got reaction on this from oliver miles a former u.k. ambassador to libya. russia doesn't want to be associated with one party they back the u.n. effort to bring all the parties together the there are too many people in libya who have some power at the moment they have weapons probably afraid of what will happen if they give up the weapons they know that they might. be called to account for crimes perhaps that they've committed or even not if not crimes and they might be called to account by their enemies i think that's the bottom line and the difficulty is to bring all these groups together and convince them that they have to work together because otherwise libya is going to go down the drain that libya is

a rich country in terms of oil and therefore of money but at the moment you wouldn't think it was a rich country at the moment everybody is living hand to mouth. going a verbal spat between the u.s. and north korea is generating lots of headlines amid growing fears it could actually erupt into a confrontation with military advisors he's also raising the alarm. i think we're not closer to war than a week ago but we're closer to war than we were a decade ago and this has been a problem that we've procrastinated on for a long period of time and now it's coming to a head where the threat from north korea not only to the united states but to the world is very very clear and people all worried google searches in the u.s. for how to survive a nuclear attack trending classics such as how to get rich and how to be happy and has been taking a look at who benefits from scaremongering. the higher the tension the hotter the

rhetoric we've certainly had no shortage of that in recent days but who stands to gain from this war of words for one the u.s. president has kept busy sounding military drums against north korea. they will be met with fury. that if there is a state. maybe it wasn't so. tough talk like this that brought him popularity according to one poll trump's approval ratings jumped to forty five percent on the back of those comments. next on the list the north korean all me twenty nine claims that will ping three and hoff million volunteers have signed up for the country's military all because of the recent escalation if true definitely

a win for his all the recruits is. now moving on to the u.s. territory located closest to north korea people there have already received god loans and what to do when they see a mushroom clouds but there's an unexpected cause for celebration because apparently all the hype will actually do the good. and where there is war all even the talk of one is always big money and this time it's ten points for the bunker business really worried for my family my kids just want to make sure the room protected sales are proudly going through the roof on

the way. evolve apocalypse styria now with military tensions running high bomb shelters are our last making a comeback client scott helps people who are really bridge and really freaked out his clientele has changed from people afraid obama would take their property to those of great trouble started a nuclear war all this drama with north korea it's paying off in a big way for this company take a look at what they are selling here these are massive bomb shelters and one such companies even advising people to form an entire survival community if nuclear armageddon talk has you scared for your life you could move to one of these bunkers scattered around a whopping twenty square kilometers in south dakota yet another firm says they're completely sold out are even true did so but we have the capacity to me. why me around the world. so plenty of point scoring on the back of needs planning but while the big bosses are reaping

the rewards the large communities of people are left losing sleep over the fear of the yet another conflict. which is federal security service is detained an ice a little group allegedly that was planning terrorist attacks on moscow's public transport system the detainees will be held in custody for at least two months during the investigation as they await trial on the operatives found an explosive dubbed mother of satan can be easily prepared in a home environment using ingredients that can be freely bought goes undetected through the usual scanners that are used in public places was used by terrorists in the paris and brussels attacks. has been following the russian security services operation. powerful explosions on public transport services and at moscow's shopping malls it looks like if it wasn't for this raid by the washing feds we could have seen bloodshed in the russian capital among those who have been detained are

a suspected islamic state member besides this two men that appear to be suicide bombers and also someone who is responsible for putting together explosive devices by the looks of it russia remains one of the primary targets for terrorists the number of attempts that had to be prevented by the russian police and special forces looks quite impressive in the year two thousand and sixteen forty two terror related acts from war to twenty seven teeing so far twelve out of thirteen the attack that couldn't be prevented though was of course that horrific suicide bombing on the st petersburg metro which took the lives of sixteen people in april . several n.g.o.s including doctors without borders have said that they are suspending their migrant rescue operations in the mediterranean since the beginning of the year around half thousand migrants died trying to make the

crossing around one hundred thousand were rescued or third of them by the ngos who now say that they're temporarily halting operations without borders explain to us the reasons for and the possible outcomes of their decision to stop helping migrants. the libyan coast guard reluctantly established a search and rescue zone of competence of libya which seemed to react to see the international organization to recognize this it have got a very much concern because of this development because we think it's just the next step for keeping the people in a need to but i found them to depart think if i innocently and got a very much concern for dave's safety. in the country this stopping of santa domingo also really affected the capacity of search and rescue the sentiment at that end and peace might in danger of that i think be all about the ill or we hold responsible the libyan coast got for such a good ass and threatening articulate and the way we have

a much more concern for the fact that very few people at even the cost of lead and these days i mean just one week more than one thousand four hundred people have been taken back into hell we had always ready to go back and tula to stop that was such a rescue operation to center military man see what we need to have some government is that we can do that on the group that measure not at all on the international refugee no and that our safety and security would be governed. meanwhile the e.u. migration commissioner has called for member states to get tougher on illegal immigrants and to ensure that they are deported the semi scene has a story. there's certainly a change in rhetoric from the e.u. migration commissioner dimitri opera marple those who wonder year ago said the e.u. should work harder to accept more asylum seekers let me remind you that you're already has the highest asylum standards in the world and we have to uphold those and our commitment to protect those seeking protection. we need

a strict and more effective policy for deportation too few migrants are being deported the european states have to do more his change of tune really boils down to the e.u.'s relocation policy for the refugees and migrants is apparently falling apart i mean in the beginning it was mostly the eastern european states like hungary and poland in the baltic states being against that used welcoming policy for the migrants and refusing the taken more and more refugees but now we're hearing more voices of this content from other countries as well particularly italy which really has been bearing the brunt of the migrants are the refugees arriving from africa as well as the middle east in search of a better life in europe since the beginning of this year we're talking about new the one hundred thousand migrants who have arrived in italy and we can really see that things are reaching boiling point in situation is particularly worsening in the small italian town of. were locals have been protesting against building
